Sam Beall Fellows Program

We support and operate the Sam Beall Fellows program that honors and remembers Sam, our proprietor, whose untimely passing in 2016 left us with a legacy made possible by his vision and passion for hospitality. The program provides an opportunity for people early in their careers in the hospitality industry to have the kinds of experiences Sam had at some of the world’s best restaurants, hotels and wineries. The program is not accepting new fellows or charitable donations at this time.

Mission

The Sam Beall Fellows program from the Blackberry Farm Foundation provides people early in their careers in hospitality and the culinary arts the kinds of opportunities that our late proprietor had: life-changing, once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Aspiring young professionals will become more well-rounded and knowledgeable, with immersive, hands-on work and close-up learning at some of the best places in the world to be made welcome.
